[Tango-L] fake step

[Michael Figart II <michaelfigart@yahoo.com>]

Igor and all,

The move described (see below), if I'm envisioning it
correctly, seems like what I was always told is an
"amague", or a "fake". To me, it is different than a
rock step. Maybe I've been misinformed?

Regards,

It can be called "Rock step", but I see a subtle
difference in 
technique.
Besides, that does not sound like Tango.

I propose to call it "Paso Cortado" in analogy with
"Ocho Cortado".

Objections?

Igor
